A rich and creamy lobster and artichoke dip baked inside a crispy sourdough bread bowl, perfect for entertaining and easy to prepare in under 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1 cup canned or jarred artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large round sourdough loaf (about 10–12 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice off the top 2-3 inches of the round sourdough loaf. Hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell all around. Keep the removed bread for dipping.
  3. Place the hollowed-out loaf and the bread lid on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes to toast and crisp the inside edges.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold in shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped lobster, and artichoke hearts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The dip should be thick but spreadable.
  6. Spoon the dip evenly into the toasted sourdough shell, piling it high.
  7. Place the filled bread bowl back on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving. Use bread chunks, crackers, or veggie sticks to scoop the dip.

Notes

Soften cream cheese completely before mixing to avoid lumps. Drain artichoke hearts well and chop finely to prevent watery dip. Toasting the bread bowl prevents sogginess. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Let dip rest 5 minutes after baking to thicken. Leftovers reheat well; add milk or cream if too thick.
